Bronny James opens up on LeBron’s future as Lakers trade rumors swirl
NY Post
Bronny James says he isn’t listening to any of the outside noise about the Lakers — even if the buzz is trade speculation about his own father, LeBron James.
“Actually, one of my friends called me, talking about where [I was going to play next season], what I was going to do because they saw my dad [in the news],” Bronny told reporters Wednesday after working out with the Lakers’ summer league team.
“I didn’t see it. He called me. I was like, ‘yeah, I have no idea what you’re talking about.’ … I don’t really pay attention to that stuff. There’s a lot of stuff going around that I don’t pay attention to.”
The elder James has been a hot name in the trade rumor mill of late.
He exercised his $52.6 million player option with the Lakers for the 2025-26 season on Sunday, but his agent, Rich Paul, then told ESPN’s Shams Charania that the 40-year-old superstar will be closely monitoring the Lakers’ offseason moves to improve their roster.
“We understand the difficulty in winning now while preparing for the future,” Paul told ESPN. “We do want to evaluate what’s best for LeBron at this stage in his life and career. He wants to make every season he has left count, and the Lakers understand that, are supportive and want what’s best for him.”
